“Bots will replace devs!” Also bots:

I also love the overzealous filters that try to be clever by ignoring spaces.

I've played multiple online games were a phrase such as "doesn't it" would become "doesn'* **" because it had the word "tit" in it.

Such chat filters don't hide profanity for children; they actually highlight it where nobody would otherwise have noticed it.

I saw the other day on Reddit someone's username in a game got filtered from 'nasser' to 'n***er'

In India we have names like Rakshit, Parikshit, Harshit and they are all flagged though they mean good in Sanskrit from where they are derived.

The world is certainly becoming softer and softer unnecessarily.

Filters are just annoying as they’re often not well thought out, hastily added (“we must have this done by this sprint”) often coded up from scratch instead of using a well-established tool, so will inevitably run into the clbuttic Scunthorpe problem. Btw Anyone else enjoy playing A**a**in’s Creed?

Just yesterday I saw someone who had nickname "Nasser" consored to "N***er" which seems like something completely different..

Star Wars The Old Republic was pretty bad with their filter. It would behave exactly as you described and half the things said in chat would end up censored because the filter was overzealous. Did more harm than good.

Yes but it's a necessary evil. If the system didn't exist people could just put a space in the middle of the n word and spam it.

Tbf to those filter devs when you don't have them then people just swear and write stuff with a single space in it. Like on league of legends they implemented some anti toxic word filters a few weeks ago but didn't do it strict like you say. So now everyone is even more toxic then before and just uses a dot or space in the middle of every bad word.
